Sorta new on here, Hi to all, from up-state NY

Just put a 348 chevy w/350 auto tranny behind it.
Had to remove the ol streeing column, steering box & drag link to do this. What is the best way to relocate the ol streeing box and drag link, sorta wanted to keep the ol stuff in the truck.

Was thinking of welding or bolting a large piece of angle iron to the frame to move the box toward the wheel, then relocating the drag link arm ball to the other side of the arm, to make it closer to the original location.........

Any input would be great,
Thanks,
Jerry

The post in HiPo shop should get the answers you need. No need to double post.

not grinding the gears, but your question is more appropriate for folks who spend more time in the HiPo area, the work has been done regularly by folks

... a fellow bolter did actually just move his original column over on his truck by using a piece of angle something similar to what your describing, I think. He said he did not really notice the column being somewhat at an angle from inside the truck. There are other options. In here, or the Hi Po you should still get some good answers. Good luck and let us know what you decide and how it works out. I'm curious.

The point I was trying to make is he posted the same question in two forums. That practice is discouraged here. You won't get better answers by double posting.
